Palmer Statement on Quinton Dial
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL) offered the following statement after former Alabama football player and current San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Quinton Dial helped members of the armed forces hold an American flag during the National Anthem:
“Last night Quinton Dial took a courageous stance in support of America and our military,” said Palmer. “While his teammate protested the National Anthem by kneeling as it played, Quinton proudly stood by members of our armed forces and helped them display the American flag for all to see. I applaud Quinton’s actions and his pride in our great nation. I'm proud to call him my fellow American.”
